Each new Note shall be made payable to such Person or Persons, or assigns, as the Holder of such surrendered Note may designate, and such transfer or exchange shall be made in such a manner that no gain or loss of principal or interest shall result therefrom. The Borrower shall have no obligation or liability under any Note to any Person other than the registered Holder of each such Note. Assignments and transfers of Notes by the Holders shall be made in compliance with Section 11.5 hereof.

(f) Section 2.10 of the Original Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety.
(g) The Original Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new Article IIA as follows:
ARTICLE IIA
ISSUANCE OF THE WARRANTS
2A.1 The Warrants. Holdings has authorized the issuance and sale of warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 650,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) (subject to adjustment as provided therein) in the form set forth as Exhibit G attached hereto (referred to herein individually as a “Warrant” and collectively as the “Warrants”, which terms shall also include any warrants delivered in exchange therefor or replacement thereof). The Warrants shall be exercisable at a purchase price equal to $0.25 per Warrant Share (subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrants).
2A.2 Purchase and Sale of the Warrants. For no additional consideration, Holdings agrees to issue to the Purchaser on the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Warrant.
2A.3 Registration Rights. The Purchaser and its successors and assigns shall have the registration rights with respect to the Common Stock purchasable under the Warrants as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.
2A.4 Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser regarding the Warrants.
The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants, which representations and warranties shall survive the Second Amendment Effective Date, that:
(a) It is the present intention of the Purchaser to acquire its Warrant and the Warrant Shares for its own account, and not as nominee or agent.
(b) The Warrants and the Warrant Shares are being and will be acquired for the purpose of investment and not with a view to distribution or resale thereof in violation of the securities laws; subject, nevertheless, to the condition that, except as otherwise provided herein and subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the disposition of the property of the Purchaser shall at all times be within its control. The Purchaser was not formed solely for the purpose of making an investment in the Borrower. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act with such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as are necessary in order to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Warrants and Warrant Shares. In making its decision to acquire the Warrant, the Purchaser has relied upon independent investigations made by the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s representatives, including the Purchaser’s own professional, tax and other advisors. The Purchaser and its representatives have been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, the Borrower concerning the terms and conditions of the acquisition of the Warrant. The Purchaser has reviewed, or has had the opportunity to review, all information it deems necessary and appropriate for the Purchaser to evaluate the financial risks inherent in the acquisition of the Warrant. The Purchaser understands that its acquisition of the Warrant involves a high degree of risk and that no governmental authority has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Warrant.
-3-
(c) The Purchaser understands that it must bear the economic risk of its investment for an indefinite period of time because the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are not, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws and may not be resold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and such other laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that, in issuing the Purchaser’s Warrant and the Warrant Shares, the Borrower is relying on the representations and warranties of the Purchaser in this Section 2A.4.
(d) The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that its Warrant and each certificate, if any, representing Warrant Shares (unless no longer required in the written opinion of counsel delivered to the Borrower, which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and its legal counsel, it being agreed that Xxxxx Xxxx LLP shall be satisfactory counsel) shall bear a legend substantially in the following form (in addition to any other legend required by the Operative Documents):
NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED WITHOUT COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR APPLICABLE EXEMPTIONS THEREFROM.
The acquisition by the Purchaser of the Warrant Shares shall constitute a confirmation by it of the foregoing representations.
2A.5 Representations and Warranties of Holdings regarding the Warrants.
Holdings hereby represents and warrants, which representations and warranties shall survive the Second Amendment Effective Date, that:
(a) Authority; No Conflicts.
(i) The execution, delivery and performance of the Operative Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby by Holdings (including the issuance of the Warrants and the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants) are within the power and authority of Holdings and have been authorized by all corporate or other organizational proceedings of Holdings and its stockholders and do not and will not (i) contravene any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or any other organizational documents of Holdings or any law, rule or regulation applicable to Holdings, (ii) contravene any provision of, or constitute an event of default or event that, but for the requirement that time elapse or notice be given, or both, would constitute an event of default under, any order, agreement, lease, mortgage, note, bond, indenture, license, or other instrument or undertaking to which Holdings is a party or by which any of its properties are bound, or (iii) result in or require the imposition of any Lien on any of the properties, assets or rights of Holdings, except in favor of the Holders.
-4-
(ii) The Warrants being purchased hereunder and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, when issued, delivered and paid for in the manner set forth in this Agreement or, in the case of the Warrant Shares, when issued, delivered and paid for in the manner set forth in the Warrant, will be duly authorized and validly issued and outstanding. No preemptive rights or other rights of any Person to subscribe for or purchase, and no anti-dilution adjustment or similar rights of any Person, exist or will be triggered with respect to the issuance and sale of the Warrants or the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants. Holdings will at all times hereafter keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon exercise of the Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as from time to time shall be issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.
(b) Securities Act. Neither Holdings, nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered or will offer to sell Warrants, Common Stock or other securities to, or has solicited or will solicit offers with respect thereto from, or has entered into or will enter into any preliminary conversations or negotiations relating thereto with, any Person, so as to bring the issuance and sale of the Warrants, or the issuance of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, under the registration provisions of the Securities Act or the registration provisions of any securities or Blue Sky laws of any applicable jurisdiction. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth herein, neither the issuance of the Warrants, nor the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants, is required to be registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, and such issuances shall be in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.
(h) Section 3.1 of the Original Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating the following definitions therein:
“Holder” or “Holders” shall mean the Purchaser (so long as it holds one or more Notes or one or more Warrants, as the context requires) and any other holder or holders from time to time of one or more Notes and/or one or more Warrants, as the context requires.
“Maturity Date” shall be November 6, 2014.
“Operative Documents” means this Agreement, the Notes, the Guaranties, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Warrants, the Registration Rights Agreement and each other agreement, instrument or document now or hereafter executed and pursuant to or in connection with any of the foregoing.

(k) Section 8.1 of the Original Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new sentence at the end thereof as follows:
“Without in any way limiting the rights of the Holders, Holdings hereby agrees that the Holders of the Warrants or the Warrant Shares would have no adequate remedy at law, for monetary compensation or otherwise, for the damages that would be suffered if Holdings or the Borrower were to fail to comply with its obligations under Article IIA and/or Article VII hereof, and that Holdings therefore agrees that the Holders of the Warrants and the Warrant Shares shall be entitled to obtain specific performance of the Holdings’ obligations under Article IIA and/or Article VII hereof.”
(l) Article X of the Original Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the references to the clause “Each Holder, by acceptance of any Note(s) held by it,” throughout such Article and replacing it with the clause “Each Holder, by acceptance of any Note(s) or Warrant(s) held by it,”.
